Shiloh Industries Reports Third-Quarter and Nine-Months ResultsCLEVELAND, Aug. 25 Shiloh Industries, Inc. , a leading manufacturer of engineered blanks, stamped components and modular systems for the automotive, truck and other industries, today announced financial results for its third quarter and the nine months ended July 31, 2000. For the third quarter of fiscal 2000, net income decreased 16.4% to $3.5 million, or $0.25 per basic and diluted share, from $4.1 million, or $0.32 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 1999. Operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 increased by 9.9% to $9.3 million, from $8.4 million in the third quarter of 1999. Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 increased 83.7% to $154.1 million, from $83.9 million in the comparable period of fiscal 1999. For the nine months ended July 31, 2000, net income increased to $13.1 million, or $.94 per share, compared with net income of $10.2 million, or $.78 per share, for the nine months ended July 31, 1999. Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 increased to $29.8 million compared with operating income of $21.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. Revenues for the first nine months of 2000 increased 80.6% to $460.6 million from $255.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. The substantial increase in revenue primarily reflects the inclusion of MTD Automotive and Ohio Welded Blank in the results for the third quarter of fiscal 2000. MTD Automotive, a supplier of high quality engineered metal parts and components to the automotive sector, was acquired on November 1, 1999. Ohio Welded Blank, an expansion of Medina Blanking, is a state-of-the- art manufacturing facility for tailor-welded blanks for the automotive sector. This facility became operational in November 1999. Jack F. Falcon, president and CEO, said it was a positive quarter despite the drop in earnings caused by weak performance by certain tool & die operations, a general softening in the heavy truck sector and reduced volumes of certain light-truck and automotive platforms. Two major projects are currently underway. Ohio Welded Blank is being refitted with state-of-the-art laser-welding equipment and will have one of North America's largest integrated and automated laser welding systems. Also, the company's new facility in Mexico is now online and producing welded blanks for several GM vehicles. In addition, he noted the Company is expected to close in late August or early September on the purchase of the assets of A.G. Simpson (Tennessee) Inc. The assets consist of a modern plant and equipment that produce automotive stampings and assemblies, primarily for Nissan Motor Corporation, Johnson Controls, Inc., Ford Motor Company, Saturn Corporation and Visteon Corporation. The acquisition reflects a strategic expansion of the Company's capabilities, plus improves its position as a key supplier of engineered metal products for seating and interior structural applications. Mr. Falcon said the Company is actively marketing its Valley City Steel operations and still evaluating strategic alternatives for its Canton Tool & Die and Utica Tool & Die operations. The strategic goal is to balance steel processing and tool & die and capacity with internal demand and market conditions. The Company expects to record a charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2000 relating to tool & die operations. The Company also expects that certain factors impacting earnings during the third quarter may continue to impact results of operations during the fourth quarter. Fourth-quarter earnings per share is expected to be below prior year results. Subsequent to the close of the third quarter, the Company entered into a $300 million revolving credit facility with the Chase Manhattan Bank. SHILOH INDUSTRIES, INC.
